Building Information Modelling and collaborative construction

2

How technology is transforming construction

For today’s CEO in the construction industry, the drive for faster, more efficient

delivery of infrastructure or building projects has never been more challenging.

Efforts to improve efficiency are difficult in a market that is too often defined by

low margins, aggressive procurement, skills shortages, uncertain work pipelines

and complex supply chains.

In the construction and asset management industry the

use of a Building Information Model which is shared by

partners is becoming more and more commonplace. The

adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) requires

organizations and individuals to change the way they work.

They must accept that traditional roles within the supply

chain and client organizations may need to be redefined to

successfully implement the new processes and information

management requirements of BIM. However this approach

offers multiple benefits including faster, safer and ultimately

more efficient solutions for clients. As the construction

industry is being revolutionized by the increasing adoption

of BIM it’s crucial that CEO’s are aware of this opportunity

and what it may mean for their organization.

expect to be using BIM within

three years, and 95% within

five1.

In terms of BIM maturity, less

than a third use one model

BSI has played a key role in the development of BIM

standards:-

• BS 1192:2007+A1:2015 – Collaborative production of

architectural, engineering and construction information.

Code of practice.

• PAS 1192-2:2013 – Specification for information

management for the capital/delivery phase of construction

projects using building information modelling. Pioneering

the Building Information Modelling Standard.

• PAS 1192-3:2014 – Specification for information

management for the operational phase of assets using

Building Information Modelling.

• BS 1192-4:2014 – Briefing for design and construction.

Code of practice for facilities management (Buildings

infrastructure) Collaborative production of information.

Fulfilling employer’s information exchange requirements

using COBie. Code of practice.

• PAS 1192-5:2015 – Specification for security-minded

Building Information Modelling, digital built environments

and smart asset management.

• BS 8536-1:2015 – Briefing for design and construction.

Code of practice for facilities management (Buildings

infrastructure).

As a Royal Charter company with 80 offices worldwide,

we have a global reach to help any organization involved in

the construction supply chain. This will help them to have

robust supply chains, manage assets effectively, and

operate efficiently.

What is BIM?

In essence, BIM is the management of information through

the whole life cycle of a built asset, from initial design all

the way through to construction, facility maintenance, and

finally de-commissioning. It can be used for a wide range of

projects such as a new buildings or or other infrastructure

projects.

It’s all about collaboration - between engineers, owners,

architects and contractors in a three dimensional

environment, and it shares information across these

disciplines. BIM allows design and construction teams to

communicate about design and coordinate information

across different levels that has been unseen before. This

information remains with the project throughout its lifetime.

BIM is now becoming the standard of the construction

industry. It is relevant for the majority of organizations

working in the architectural, engineering, construction

and infrastructure sectors, whatever their size, as well as

contractor’s clients who require their supply chain to use

BIM processes and tools.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative way of working

underpinned by digital technologies, which allow for more efficient methods

of designing, delivering and maintaining physical built assets throughout their

entire lifecycle.

BIM and its global context

Megatrends such as demographics and urbanization have driven the need to

adopt BIM, as has the need to transform and make construction more efficient.

BIM is now at the heart of the future strategy for construction in many parts of

the world.

Leaders from Europe’s architecture, engineering and

construction industry expressed their support of the

European Parliament’s decision to modernize European

public procurement rules by recommending the use of

electronic tools such as building information electronic

modelling, or BIM, for public works contracts and design

contracts.

• The adoption of the Directive, officially called the

European Union Public Procurement Directive (EUPPD)

means that all the 28 European Member States may

encourage, specify or mandate the use of BIM for publicly

funded construction and building projects in the European

Union by 2016.

• In the use of UK, Collaborative 3D BIM will become

mandatory for government projects in 2016.

• In the USA the General Services Administration (GSA)

has mandated that buildings designed through its Public

Building Service (PBS) use BIM at the design stage as a

minimum. In the USA BIM adoption is currently estimated

at being in the region of 70%*.

* Constructionmanager.co.uk, March 2015

• Singapore has one of the most advanced construction

industries in Asia and a 2013 survey found 76% of firms

were using BIM. In 2015 BIM becomes mandatory for new

building projects over 5,000m2.

• Public sector BIM standards or requirements are already

in place for Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden. BIM

is in place for the Statsbygg government property agency

in Norway. Finland’s Senate Properties, a state-owned

enterprise requires IFC/BIM in its projects and intends to

have integrated model-based operation in future.

• In China, BIM has been included as part of its most recent

National Five Year Plan and China is formulating

a BIM framework.

• Brazil’s National Department of Transport Infrastructure is

embracing BIM in the hope of making 30% cost savings.

Elsewhere in Latin America, Panama’s ongoing project to

add a new set of locks at either end of the Panama Canal

has adopted BIM from the start, and a new airport for

Mexico City will also use it.

• Dubai has had a BIM mandate since 2014 which applies

to all buildings of 40 stories or higher, buildings of

25,000sqm, all hospitals, universities and public buildings.

The adoption of BIM by the construction and asset

management industry requires organizations and individuals

to embrace change and new roles within the supply chain.

The BSI services outlined in this brochure address how

building information modelling can be implemented within

an organization and help you to demonstrate BIM capability

down through to the supply chain and also BIM Level 2

Compliance to the 2016 UK mandate.

The benefits of BIM

Enhance your reputation and win more business

• It can help mitigate risk, avoid fines,

delays and damage to brand reputation.

• It helps deliver better customer service –

proposals are better understood through

more accurate visualization.

• It can be used as a differentiator as part

of the tendering process, by promoting

the value of information regarding the

asset at handover stage.

• It can be used as a strategic tool which

helps organizations gain future projects.

Save time and money

• It can be used to invigorate a positive

culture of collaboration between

departments and the supply chain

delivering greater efficiency for the

client at reduced cost.

• Controlled whole-life costs and

environmental data can be calculated

which mean that environmental

performance is more predictable and

lifecycle costs are better understood.

• It is faster and more effective as

information is more easily shared which

can be value-added and reused.

Improve quality and deliver efficiencies

• Better production quality is achieved

and documentation output is flexible

and exploits automation.

• Better design may be achieved as

building proposals can be rigorously

analysed, simulations can be performed

quickly and performance benchmarked

which enables improved and innovative

solutions.

• It can assist automated assembly as

digital product data can be exploited

in downstream processes and used

for manufacturing or assembling of

structural systems.

• Improved lifecycle data such as

requirements, design, construction and

operational performance can be used

in facilities management to help make

efficiencies.

BSI BIM solutions

The UK government has mandated that all centrally-funded

work is to be undertaken using BIM by 2016. To help

demonstrate this we have developed a verification solution

for contractors and their supply chains to show BIM capability

through certification to PAS 1192-2. For main contractors

looking for evidence of successful completion and final

delivery of projects using BIM, a BSI Kitemark certification will

also be available, using management system standards, such

as BS 11000 Collaborative Business Relationships and

ISO 9001 Quality Management as well as PAS 1192-2 and

assessment of completed projects.

BSI’s certification schemes have been developed collaboratively with industry utilizing existing industry and international standards as the core foundation to successfully implement BIM. These will help you to demonstrate your BIM capability which could help you to win business and keep your competitive edge.

demonstrate your BIM capability

through independent and impartial third party verification.

The BSI Verification service for BIM has been developed for;

Tier 1 Main Contractor

(These are contractors and/or lead designers with a direct

commercial relationship with the client.)

Verification will require evidence of the main contractor’s

capability to adopt processes identified in PAS 1192-2.

Tier 2 Sub-contractors and suppliers

(These will typically have a direct contract with the Tier 1 main

contractor.)

Verification for Tier 2 sub-contractors and suppliers offers

evidence of the sub contractor’s capability to work adopting

processes identified in PAS 1192-2, in order to be eligible to

supply the main contractor services as part of the supply chain

for Level 2 BIM mandated projects.

Tier 3 or 4 Sub-contractors and suppliers

(This group includes specialist contractors, sub-contractors and

suppliers working for sub contractors.)

Verification offers evidence of the Tier 3 sub contractor’s

capability to work adopting processes identified in PAS 1192-2,

in order to be eligible to supply Tier 2 services as part of the

supply chain for Level 2 BIM mandated projects.

BSI Kitemark™ for BIM Design and Construction
